Question

How can I keep my 17 month old from crying when I only leave the room?

My 17 month hates to be away from me. I can simply walk out of the room or just to where he can't see me and he starts to freak out. I am the only one who spends any quality time with him, so he's not used to staying with other people even just for a few hours during the day. I can just pull up the the daycare, not stop the car or anything and he starts screaming and crying and he's only there for about 4 hours tuesdays and thursdays. Any suggestions on major seperation anxiety??
